Boy selling papers   Caught a glimpse behind the scenes   Saw they had more   Than he had ever dreamed      Their suits were tailormade   Their boots were shining clean   Careless tough faces   Looking proud as can be      Started looking how they ruled the streets   So they were living it up, living it up   Beyond his dreams      King of the night, once and forever   Pay your respect or you'll go down   Now he's the king of the night   Hell or high water   I dare you, try to take my crown      Left his old man's business   To run them little services   Wore his hat way tilted   And rolled up his sleeves      Fought, got arrested, jailed   Took a bullet in their name   Got himself a gang name   Loved it all the way      His guts were tested on the streets   And he never gave up, never gave up   He was bound to be      King of the night, once and forever   Pay your respect or you'll go down   Now he's the king of the night   Hell or high water   I dare you, try to take my crown, yeah, you'll go down      King of the night      King of the night, once and forever   Pay your respect or you'll go down   Now he's the king of the night   Hell or high water   I dare you, try to take my crown   Dare, king of the night      King of the night, king of the night   King of the night, king of the night   King of the night, king of the night   King of the night, king of the night
